At Paul Smith, London

The color combinations at this show were so inspiring. The rust top, purple belt, and grey pants were just about perfect

Your post reminds me of when I saw a man wearing a purple V-neck sweater with gray pants while I was sitting in a café in Paris. This guy was so elegant, and on top of that his phone ring was the guitar intro of David Bowie's "China Girl".

yes, the colors of that show were interesting - both the colors that were in it and the colors that were rejected. the sad thing is that it was the first of the london shows where i remarked the LACK of color and therefore made me feel sick to my stomach because when i think of london, i think of the beautiful colors in london.

Loving the whole look;the colours,the shapes,the drape of the fabrics,the accessories and the models do not look half starved.

love, love, love, love, sir paul and always have but this collection is the best in a long time. color, silhouette, the always fun details, and the shoes.... ahhhh... glad you like it too. I finally like something that a saavy fashion person likes!

This is the first fashion show you have shot that actually makes sense to me, as in, I understand the style and where it is pushing out a new look. Wonderful! I agree that the colors are great - easy to look at but not boring. I especially love the eggplant jumpsuit with the multiple orange belts. And even the poufy French twist hair. Just really inspiring. THank you.

Now this is inspiring fashion. Trust London in all its wayward charm to come up with something so simple and elegant. Love the purple piece as well as the rust top and grey pants. So classy, comfy and elegant.

yes it's great colour combinations but pretty standard in terms of the english gentry. Go to badminton ( the place not the game) and you would see.

I do love all of these--esp the purple colour--it has a touch of magenta which gives it that bit of extra vibrancy.Those loose pants though are hard to wear when short and/or solid around the lower half.

my first reaction to the backwards cardi was one of confusion, but after looking at it for a bit i realized how much i love it! i always love an interesting back, and a button down with skin showing through is very clever. i'd probably do this look with a cardigan that doesn't have a pocket, but i love the idea!
